BUTTER HOLDS STEADY 
In spite of heavy increase in receipts, the 
butter market continues to show a good tone. 
In fact on Thursday of the week ending June 7, 
the market showed a brighter tone from the 
sellers’ standpoint than any time during the 
previous week. Heavy trading is reported in 
practically all stores and increased receipts are 
being absorbed much more readily than was an¬ 
ticipated. Furthermore the speculative de¬ 
mand is becoming an important factor and 
already quite a quantity of butter has gone 
into the freezers. This is due to the fact that 
some of the offerings are full grass and are 
suitable to hold. 
CHEESE MARKET STEADY 
During the past week the cheese market has 
not only had a steady tone, but a decidedly 
firm one. Early in the week, fresh cheese met 
brisk trading which, although it was steady, 
shaded off a bit toward the end due to lack 
of interest on the part of speculative interests. 
However, full grass stock is running very firm. 
Fresh State flats, both white and colored, are 
selling from 17 to 19]^c with most of the 
business being done at 18 to 19c. Slightly 
higher prices are being realized by a few pet 
marks. 
EGG MARKET SLIGHTLY BETTER 
The extremely dull tone in the egg market 
has been replaced by a slightly brighter feeling. 
This recent improvement to steadiness is pri¬ 
marily due to a slight decrease in arrivals and

to a better feeling among the market men since 
the release of a government report wfliich shows 
that in 26 cities accumulations are several hun¬ 
dred thousand cases below last year. This has 
not been reflected in the price, but a good tone 
to the market means a lot. Extra fancies, 
closely graded as to color, size and shape are 
bringing from 33c to 35c in cartons. These 
fancy marks are meeting a fair demand and a 
fairly firm market. Most trading on nearbys 
is being done at 27c to 29c. 
LIVE POULTRY FIRM 
The live poultry market has been unusually 
good during the past week. Arrivals both via 
freight and express have been rather light with 
a consequent strong market. Previous to 
Decoration Day trading took a sudden brisk 
turn and practically cleared out the market. 
The arrivals have been light since then and 
so we have the present condition. The “live 
freight” market, which doesn’t interest our 
nearby farmers a whole lot, has been short on 
receipts and strong on price which has been 
reflected on the express arrivals, which do in- 
tereet us. Express arrivals have been in most 
instances brought a cent a pound above the 
freight market. Both fowls and colored broil¬ 
ers especially are in excellent demand. It is 
doubtful if we will see a very good market for 
a while on White Leghorn broilers. They alone 
have been in good supply but due to the size 
and condition prices have been shaded on this 
kind of stock to 35c. Colored fancy stock 
however looks good for some time. 
The market on fresh-killed broilers has been 
fairly steady. Arrivals have not been over- 
excessive. Fresh killed broilers, iced, from 
Jersey and other nearby points have been 
bringing from 37e to 43c on milk fed of good to 
prime color. Milk fed stock of fancy color has 
been running from 45c to 50c. That which 
grades poor to fair is quoted at 30c to 35c. 
The market on fresh killed fowls is running 
irregularly. There is a speculative demand for 
fowls over 4 pound for storage, but this sort of 
stock has to be very fancy. 
POTATO MARKET GOOD 
There is a healthy condition in the potato 
market right now. Just how long it is going to 
continue is a big problem because it all depends 
on the South. There is a good demand for old 
stock, both States and Maines, and with this 
demand there has come a slight hardening in 
prices. States are quoted at $2 a cwt. deliv¬ 
ered and $3.50 in sacks. In fact the market is 
in the sellers’ favor and if a man has some real 
good stuff he may get a little better price. 
However, the stocks of old crop Maines and 
States are pretty well cleaned and with a lim¬ 
ited supply almost anything can happen in the 
market. This strong “old stock” market will 
undoubtedly be only very temporary because 
southern goods have been coming in in very 
poor condition. Most all southern arrivals are 
very poorly graded and a good many of them 
are green and immature. In addition to this 
some shipments-have been held and weather 
conditions made it ideal of spoilage, so that 
right now the southern situation gives the old 
crop men a short breathing spell. However, as 
soon as we get some more good southern stuff 
in we will see any advances cut off. 
HAY MARKET FIRM 
The strong hay market continues in spite 
of fairly heavy arrivals during the past lyeek, 
especially on good quality hay in large bales. 
Small bale stuff has been in rather heavy sup¬ 
ply and the market isn’t quite as firm on these 
marks. Small bales of No. 1 hay have been 
varying from $30 to $31 while large bales, of 
which there are none at the present time in the 
city, would quickly bring $32. Small bales of 
No. 3 vary from $28 to $29, while $29 to $30 is 
the market on larger bales. The Brooklyn 
market has maintained about the same price 
as Manhattan during the entire week. 
GRAINS AND FEEDS 
According to New York State Department 
of Farms and Markets, the following prices 
prevailed, through billed from western points: 
The quotations given in this report show the approximate 
prices at which feed can be purchased pe.-ton, and grain per 
bushel, in straight carlots delivered on track at points in the 
different freight zones as indicated. Mixed carlots cost ap¬ 
proximately S2.00 per ton more. 
Retail feed and grain prices vary with different local dealers, 
depending upon their individual costs of doing business, vol¬ 
ume handled, etc. In the case of feeds the retail price may 
sometimes be as high as $5 per ton above the wholesale prices 
given in this report.

my behalf, and any service personally or 
otherwise that I can do to help you, I will 
be glad to render.” 
Another subject on which almost 
everybody at some time or other needs 
advice is that of investments. For 
months American Agriculturist has 
been warning you against fake invest¬ 
ments, and about certain advertisers that 
do not make good their claims. But in 
addition to this, one of the best invest¬ 
ment experts in the country, who is a 
member of our staff, answers hundreds of 
investment letters for us every month. 
If you are thinking of investing, it will 
cost you nothing but a postage stamp to 
have us look up for you the company in 
which you are interested or suggest one 
of which you might not know. 
Our Market Service is another im¬ 
portant department. No farmer should 
do business with a commission merchant 
who is not regularly licensed and bonded 
by the New York State Department of 
Farms and Markets. We will be glad to 
furnish an approved list of such commis¬ 
sion merchants and to answer any specific 
question about the market at any time. 
These are but a few of the many ways 
in which American Agriculturist can 
help you. Whatever your problem is, 
BE SURE TO SIGN YOUR NAME 
AND ADDRESS IN FULL.

price cents on oats; jVs cents on corn; 10 cents on 
cottonseed meal; 20 cents on other feeds. 
MEATS AND LIVE STOCK 
During the entire past week, the market 
has been more or less dull and weak on live 
calves. A few fancy marks have reached 
$11.50 per 100, most of the arrivals grading 
fair to good and bringing from $8.50 to 10.50. 
Culls are as low as $5 to 6. 
Live spring lambs have been meeting a fairly 
steady market, best stock bringing $18.25 
per 100 pounds. There have been no receipts 
of winter lambs. 
Country dressed veal have been fully" equal 
to a moderate demand and with little more 
pressure to move stock, the market has ruled 
weaker although prices have not been modi¬ 
fied. A few fancy veals have been moving 
out at 15 to 16c. In fact 16c is rather dif¬ 
ficult to reach and most trading is going on at
